Perry which found that the 23rd district violated the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the district was redrawn. 2010 election The National Republican Congressional Committee targeted Texas's 23rd congressional district to try to regain it, and strongly supported the Republican campaign financially. 2012 election 2014 election 2016 election 2018 election 2020 election 2022 election 2024 election ==See also==
